Black suspenders hold up flared pink trousers, and he finishes the look with black shoes.
Personality
Upbeat and eager to satisfy whoever walks through his door, Hans treats every guest the same no matter their allegiance. That eagerness can tip into stubbornness, since he insists on serving people even when they would rather be left alone.
Neither pirates nor the Marines intimidate him. Despite throwing his lot in with the Straw Hats, he still felt moved to comfort Smoker after the Marine came up empty-handed.
History
When the Straw Hats anchored at an island brimming with top-grade ingredients, Sanji decided to operate a pop-up restaurant and asked Hans to lend out his establishment. Hans agreed and took on serving duties while Sanji ran the kitchen. During this stretch he grew friendly with Luffy and Zoro, fussed over Law by forcing a bigger parfait on him and polishing his shoes, and when Smoker tracked the crew to the restaurant, Hans volunteered to draw the Marine away so they could flee. He later tried to lift Smoker's spirits after the capture fell through.
